Instructions

  1. Place the mince, onion, carrot and zucchini in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Use clean hands to mix well. Divide into 4 portions. Shape each portion into an 8cm-diameter patty. Place on a large plate. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to chill.
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon for 2 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  3. Heat the oil in the same frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Top with the cheese. Cover the pan and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  4. Lightly toast the rolls. Divide the lettuce, tomato, bacon and patties among the roll bases. Top with the roll lids.
